Community Midwifery Service

Community Midwives and Maternity Support Workers (known as MSW’s) will care for you during your pregnancy and in the early days when you are at home with your baby. The MSW’s work under the direction of the Community Midwives who coordinate your care and they work together to support you until your baby is approximately 10 days old, when your care is then transferred to a Health Visitor.

The Community Midwifery teams are based at a variety of places such as GP surgeries, Health Centres, Clinics or Children’s Centres. Where you see yours will depend on where you live. 

Maternity Notes

Once you have completed our online self-referral form, a member of the booking team will be in contact with you to set up access to your maternity notes. At NBT we use digital notes called Badger Notes, which can be accessed on the web or an app on your phone. Find out more about Badger Notes.
